Device for removing consumable analytic products from a storage container
First Claim
1. A device for removing a consumable analytic product from a storage container, the device comprisinga drive wheel,a control element being coupled to and formed for rotation with the drive wheel,a carrier member in engagement with and formed for axial movement along the control element, anda plunger situated within the control element and being formed for axial movement through the control element and engagement with the storage container, the magnitude of the thrusting force of the plunger relative to the storage container being dependent upon the position of the carrier member along the control element.

Abstract
A method and a device for removing an analytic consumable product, in particular a test element, from a storage container having chambers which are sealed by foils from which the consumable product is pushed out by means of a plunger (7) can be optimized in that the magnitude of the thrusting force exercised by the plunger (7) during its forward motion can be controlled in dependence on the plunger (7) position.
